WASHINGTON — Donald Trump Jr. replied "love it" when told in an email chain in June 2016 that a Russian government lawyer was willing to share documents and other information that would "incriminate” Hillary Clinton — and that such information was "part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump."

Trump Jr. on Tuesday tweeted out the email chain — shortly before The New York Times published its own copy of the emails — and said it was part of a transparency effort.

“To everyone, in order to be totally transparent, I am releasing the entire email chain of my emails with Rob Goldstone about the meeting on June 9, 2016,” Trump Jr. said in a tweet. “To put this in context, this occurred before the current Russian fever was in vogue.”

In a June 3, 2016, email with the subject line “Russia – Clinton – private and confidential,” Goldstone says Emin “just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.”

“The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” Goldstone writes. “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump — helped along by Aras and Emin.”

Goldstone asks Trump Jr. if he would be willing to speak directly with Emin, noting that he could send it then-presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, “but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.”

"Thanks Rob I appreciate that," Trump Jr. replies. "I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer."
